Sin City - So sweet!

Many know that the sugar coating on M&M chocolates is patented but not many (at least I do not) know that part of M&Ms history has to got to do with the U.S army. They were developed initially for the U.S army? I did not know that. I was ignorant. I reckon they could still have chocolates that "melt in their mouth, not in their hand" while fighting a war.

I prefer dark bittersweet chocolates. M&M is not for me. But it's free to enter this five-storey building. Ok, will just take a look what the craze is about. Oh no, I could not even move freely in this building. People, people, people. IT'S A CULT!

Four floors of retail space devoted to chocolate-covered candies, everything from T-shirts and golf-club covers to calculators and martini glasses. Just like any other Disney or Warner Brothers retail store. I was not impressed.

I was tickled by all the 3D exhibits along the walkway, though.


They come to life !

    I like this one too! :P
    Is it new ? It's not exactly on The Strip. It is beside MGM Grand. Actually, I like Vegas. City never sleeps, so much to see. Think 5 years later you go back again, there will be new establishments to see. Already saw some construction on-going while walking along the Strip.

    If the M&M is writing "I will not melt in the hand" on the blackboard, does that means he is being punished for melting in the hands?

    Buahahahhaha....DK. Do you really want to see MM being punished ? He will be, under extreme conditions, maybe. I suspect he has to reiterate so that he gets constantly reminded of his role "not to melt in the hands". LOL!
    DK, thx for re-visiting. Happy New Year!

    eastcoastlife, good chocs. are good for you. :)
